Item Bubble: Behind the Door

Jump up onto the ledge behind the very first spawn door at the start of the level to find an Item Bubble.

Item Bubble: Secret Area Beneath the Sign

At the start of the stage, slide down the hill and, under the massive "New Life" sign, run to the left to find a hidden passage and an Item Bubble.

Item Bubble: Robot Door Secret Area

At the start of the stage, slide down the hill and, under the massive "New Life" sign, run to the right until you come to the red robot door. Enter it to find an Item Bubble.

Item Bubble: Bottom of the Pit

After getting the Grappling Hook, drop to the bottom of the grapple area and grab the Bubble behind the girder.

Item Bubble: Top of the Pit

After getting the Grappling Hook, use the Launch Pads and grapple points to get to the top, left region. From here you can make out an Item Bubble high above the center of this area -- it's on a platform above the top grapple point. To get to this you'll need to bounce off the Launch Pad towards the grapple point and, as you fall, shoot your Hook and attach. Your downward momentum should convert to angular momentum as you swing around the pivot point. Let go as you swing up and you should launch upwards and land on the Item Bubble.

Hint: To the Finger!

Swing out to the purple, neon index finger and drop directly onto it to get to the next area. If you miss the finger, you'll fall to your death.

Item Bubbles: Clive Handforth's Secret Room

When you land on solid ground after falling past the neon hand, open the door on the left using the Launch Pad and lever. Run to the left through the open door to find a secret area with 2 Item Bubbles and Clive Handforth inside.

Hint: Save the Sackbots

The Sackbots throughout this level are caught in cages. Activate switches to release them and then herd them to the right. If they get on your left, chase them until they bounce of the Launch Pads on the leftmost walls. By herding them to the right you can open doors and even use them as projectiles. They will be sucked up into any green tubes you come to, so sometimes you have to hit a button to release them.

The Sackbots will jump over dangerous things or stop at the edge of pits they cannot cross -- the only way to kill them is to throw them into danger. Other than that, try not to leave any behind . Why? Because 4 Item Bubble depend on the rescue of all 15 Sackbots you can release in this level! Every time you see a cage, release the bots and herd them onward.

Hint: Hit the Switch

At the dead end, look for a red switch on the wall. To hit this, you'll need to employ the help of the Sackbots nearby. Pick one up and bounce off the launch pad, releasing it in the direction of the button. It will take two direct hits to open the door.

Hint: Spider Enemies

Stand under the fire-spewing spiders and jump up to hit their weak spots. Your completely safe beneath their bodies!

Item Bubbles: Avoid the Tube

Don't follow the Sackbots into the tube with the glowing arrows just yet. Move to the foreground and use the launch pads on the right to blast into the two Item Bubbles at the top of the screen.

Item Bubbles: Free the Trapped Sackbots

Pull on the sponge hanging above the bouncing Sackbots to knock them into the foreground so they can run free. Grab one and toss it into the button on the right to release the Item Bubbles.

Item Bubble: In the Background

Just to the left of the area where the Sackbots bounce endlessly between Launch Pads, drop down and walk back to the right. Jump into the background to find a row of Launch Pads and a lone Item Bubble.

Hint: Sackbot Toss

To escape this pit, toss a Sackbot up and to the left. A Launch Pad here will bounce the bot into a switch repeatedly and open the path forward. Chase the Sackbots across the bridge to continue.

Hint: Pick up the Launch Pad

The Launch Pad block in the background can be picked up. Grab it and bring it into the foreground. Toss it into the pit to the left and chase the lil' bots onto it to bounce them into the next area.

Key

You'll need a few Sackbots to get the key. Toss them up at the switch on the wall to activate it and drop the key, simultaneously opening a path forward. The key opens a level called Basketball.

2x Area

The 2x Area can be accessed by one person for a single Item Bubble, but 3 Item Bubbles are only available to two or more players (on or offline). To get to the Bubbles on the upper left, both Sackpeople should jump to the right ledge using the Launch Pad, then one must throw the other to the Item Bubbles.

Item Bubbles: Sackbot Rewards

You'll get one Item Bubble a piece for the 5 and 10 tiers, and two Item Bubbles for getting all 15 -- that means 4 Item Bubbles are at stake, so herd those Sackbots carefully!
